N.C.
Quiet the drone in the distance approaches

N.C.
We hide, and hope they pass us by

N.C.
Waiting in silence, praying they don't find us

N.C.
And maybe they'll spare us our lives


N.C.
Just maybe they'll spare us our lives


N.C.
Desolate village of sorrow and anguish

N.C.
I stare upon what once was home

N.C.
Explosions and flashes leave embers and ashes

N.C.
And now I've got nowhere to go


N.C.
And now we've got nowhere to go

E minorEm Em C majorC D MajorD (same as chorus)

Verse 1:


A minorAm     C majorC      G+G       A minorAm
Now, as the fire rains down from the sky

A minorAm     C majorC      G+G       A minorAm
I see the love disappear from her eyes

A minorAm     C majorC      G+G       A minorAm
I've seen the hearts of our people all change like the wind

   C majorC      G+G    A minorAm
A augmentedA helping hand, I cannot find

Pre-Chorus:


   C majorC
Hold on

       G+G         FF
We'll find a place to call our home

   A minorAm       C majorC
Nevermore, will you cry

     G+G         D MajorD
Together we'll live on alone

Chorus:


E minorEm
Life or death

We will not live forever

C majorC
Or did you forget

C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm
Selflessness bereft You looked the other way

  C majorC         D MajorD
As we are left for dead

Verse 2:


A minorAm      C majorC      G+G    A minorAm
Gone are the tears of the innocent child

A minorAm       C majorC        G+G     A minorAm
Each day you're cursed watching her fading smile

A minorAm     C majorC       G+G
You must be brave little sister

   A minorAm         C majorC     G+G       A minorAm
I'll swallow my pride, whatever it takes to survive

Pre-Chorus 2:


    C majorC
Be strong

    G+G          FF
The fireflies will light the way

    A minorAm     C majorC
Never stop, carry on

       G+G      D MajorD
You are the life in me today

Chorus:


E minorEm
Life or death

We will not live forever

C majorC
Or did you forget

C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm
Selflessness bereft You looked the other way

  C majorC         D MajorD
As we are left for dead


D MajorD G+G  E minorEm
As the raid begins

                C majorC     D MajorD
The blackened rain turns red a beautiful display of hatred

E minorEm
Nothing left

                C majorC        D MajorD  E minorEm
Beneath the flames of where my love was laid to rest

Bridge:

N.C.
Sleep, little one all your nightmares are gone

N.C.
Rest in piece, and be free of your pain

N.C.
For you I will fight one more day


N.C.
Echoes of your voice repeatedly tormenting

N.C.
Reminds me of my mistakes

N.C.
How do I live with myself

N.C.
My conscious says I sent you to an early grave

N.C.
Have I sent you to an early grave

E minorEm     C majorC
Mother and father

   G+G     D MajorD
Will dry your eyes

E minorEm      C majorC
Now that you sleep with

  G+G  G/Gb
The fireflies

E minorEm C majorC G+G G/Gb x4
